Silicon monoxide (SiO) is considered as one of the most promising alternative anode materials thanks to its high theoretical capacity, satisfying operating voltage and low cost. However, huge volume change, poor electrical conductivity, and poor cycle performance of SiO dramatically hindered its commercial application. In this work, we report an affordable and simple way for manufacturing carbon-coated SiO-C composites with good electrochemical performance on kilogram scales. Industrial grade SiO was modified by carbon coating using cheap and environment friendly polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) as carbon source. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and Raman spectra results show that there is an amorphous carbon coating layer with a thickness of about 40?nm on the surface of SiO. The synthesized SiO-C-650 composite shows great electrochemical performance with a high capacity of 1491?mAh.g-1 at 0.1?C rate and outstanding capacity retention of 67.2?% after 100 cycles. The material also displays an excellent performance with a capacity of 1100?mAh.g-1 at 0.5?C rate. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) results also prove that the carbon coating layer can effectively improve the conductivity of the composite and thus enhance the cycling stability of SiO electrode.This study contributes to the research of employee health and well-being by examining the longitudinal effects of psychological contract (PC) breach on employees' health. We integrate Social Exchange and Conservation of Resources theories to position effort-reward imbalance (ERI) as the mediating mechanism. We also assessed the moderating role of perceived job control as a boundary condition through which employees could prevent PC breach and ERI from adversely affecting their health. Using three-wave longitudinal survey data from 389 employees, we estimated a path model using each variable's growth parameters (intercept and slope). We found support for our hypotheses regarding stable effects; we found positive associations between PC breach and physical and mental health complaints and a need for recovery through ERI perceptions. We further tested employees' perceived control over the work environment as a boundary condition and found support for its role in attenuating the positive relationship between PC breach and ERI perceptions, but not for its moderating role in the ERI-health outcomes relationship. Our findings indicate that exposure to PC breach has a detrimental impact on employee health/well-being via perceptions of ERI and allow us to unravel one of the cognitive mechanisms leading to potential employee ill-health. We conclude with theoretical and practical implications.Cardiovascular diseases are associated with high incidence and mortality, contribute to disability and place a heavy economic burden on countries worldwide. Stimulating endogenous cardiomyocyte proliferation and regeneration has been considering as a key to repair the injured heart caused by ischaemia. Emerging evidence has proved that non-coding RNAs participate in cardiac proliferation and regeneration. In this review, we focus on the observation and mechanism that microRNAs (or miRNAs), long non-coding RNAs (or lncRNAs) and circular RNA (or circRNAs) regulate cardiomyocyte proliferation and regeneration to repair a damaged heart. Furthermore, we highlight the potential therapeutic role of some non-coding RNAs used in stimulating CMs proliferation. Finally, perspective on the development of non-coding RNAs therapy in cardiac regeneration is presented.Recycling multilayer plastic packaging is challenging due to its intrinsic compositional heterogeneity. A promising route to increase recycling rates for these materials is delamination, which allows recycling the polymers separately. Yet, this process is not well understood on a fundamental level. This study aimed to obtain first principles-based insights of the delamination mechanism of multilayer flexible packaging film (MFPF) with carboxylic acids. Delamination of MFPFs was described through a model based on Fick's first law of diffusion and first-order dissolution kinetics of polyurethane adhesives. The model was experimentally tested on 5 different MFPFs at different temperatures (50-75?°C), formic acid concentrations (50-100?vol?%), and solid/liquid (S/L) ratios (0.005, 0.025, and 0.12?g?mL-1 ). Under the studied conditions the model proved to successfully estimate the delamination time of MFPF with the average Theil's Inequality Coefficient (TIC) value of 0.14. Essential for scaling-up delamination processes is the possibility to use high S/L ratios as the solubility of the adhesive is rarely limiting.The potential cancer risk associated with long-term exposure to angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) is still unclear. We assessed the risk of incident cancer among hypertensive patients who were treated with ARBs compared with patients exposed to angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs), which are known to have a neutral effect on cancer development. Using the Korean National Health Insurance Service database, we analyzed the data of patients diagnosed with essential hypertension from January 2005 to December 2012 who were aged ?40 years, initially free of cancer, and were prescribed either ACEI or ARB (n = 293,962). Cox proportional hazard model adjusted for covariates was used to evaluate the risk of incident cancer. During a mean follow-up of 10 years, 24,610 incident cancers were observed. ARB use was associated with a decreased risk of overall cancer compared with ACEI use (hazard ratio [HR] 0.76, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.72-0.80). Similar results were obtained for lung (HR 0.73, 95% CI 0.64-0.82), hepatic (HR 0.56, 95% CI 0.48-0.65), and gastric cancers (HR 0.74, 95% CI 0.66-0.83). Regardless of the subgroup, greater reduction of cancer risk was seen among patients treated with ARB than that among patients treated with ACEIs. Particularly, the decreased risk of cancer among ARB users was more prominent among males and heavy drinkers (interaction P less then .005). Dose-response analyses demonstrated a gradual decrease in risk with prolonged ARB therapy than that with ACEI use. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/chitosan-oligosaccharide.html In conclusion, ARB use was associated with a decreased risk of overall cancer and several site-specific cancers.
